We can't possibly be bug-for-bug compatible with Linux. That's just
an impossible standard to hit. Given the level of bugs in Linux, it
isn't desirable. :-)

We just need more people to run PHP more often to catch these things
and submit patches to the authors. That's the real problem here.
While the primary authors assume all the world is Linux, having a
vocal base of testers for FreeBSD pounding them into submission will
fix the problem quickly.

Agreed.
